About Marylee and the Potted Desert
Container Gardening with the Desert in Mind
Are you a newcomer or a seasoned desert gardener? No matter our expertise, we're all looking to keep flowers alive in this dry and hot climate, right?
How do you get help with your desert container garden? Ask your neighbors? Go to your computer and Google your questions?
When Marylee moved to Tucson in 1996, there were no definitive answers on how to choose, grow and care for flowers in desert pots. She set out to help thousands of homeowners with creating a colorful potted garden, often “just like back home." The Potted Desert is a culmination of Marylee’s experience and expertise in container gardening after selling her company, The Container Gardener in 2012.
Marylee next published her book, Getting Potted in the Desert and created the first resource that helps desert gardeners keep their money out of the compost heap and enjoy a potted garden that thrives 365 days a year.
Marylee provides a monthly checklist of vital tasks when you subscribe to her Potted View newsletter. Potted Desert enthusiasts are astonished by the amount of information Marylee shares in her Premium Perennial subscription. As a Perennial, you also receive discounts on Marylee’s popular online classes and consultations.
